EAAs Amino Acids Powder - 50 Servings - Vegan Unflavored Essential Amino Acids 500 Grams - Instantized All Natural EAAs Powder Supplement

I purchased the unflavored EAAs and have been using it consistently for a few weeks. The biggest drawback is the taste. Even though it is advertised as unflavored, it still has a fairly strong taste that I would describe as slightly bitter and somewhat chemical-like. At first, I did not enjoy it and found it difficult to drink. However, after about two weeks of regular use, I became accustomed to the taste, and it no longer bothers me as much. If you are looking for a completely neutral-tasting supplement, this may not meet your expectations, but the flavor is manageable over time. On the positive side, it has been very gentle on my stomach. I have not experienced any nausea, digestive discomfort, or stomach issues while taking it. It mixes well, and so far it seems to be doing what I purchased it for. Overall, while the taste could be better, I am satisfied with the product because it is well tolerated and appears to be effective.

Yes, the taste is a bit like vinegar and bitter — but if you mix it as a quick shot with about 2 oz of water, it’s fast and easy to drink. I was honestly hesitant to order this after reading the reviews, but I’m so glad I did! I’m vegetarian, and since I started taking this, I’ve noticed I can lift heavier and actually see muscle growth. Of course, I’m intentional with my macros and training, but this supplement has made a huge difference. Sure, you can find EAAs full of artificial flavors that taste better, but if you care about clean ingredients, this is the one. I highly recommend it. (Pro tip: I take the shot, then follow it with a sip of kombucha — resets the palate perfectly!)

I’ve previously purchased Naked Whey (vanilla) and absolutely loved it, it’s one of my favorites on the market and I decided to give their EAAS a try. They make for a great intra-workout, helping aide in performance in the gym while keeping your appetite at bay. The product dissolves easily which has been important to me as I mix it with an electrolyte mix for natural flavor (I tried the mango flavored one by Naked, it’s pretty rough, so sweet it makes your face pucker. Unflavored is the way to go.) Overall I feel this is a high quality product and when you but the unflavored version, the scoop is much smaller and the product lasts longer, making it a higher value for your money. I’d highly recommend.

First - I have tried both the lemonade and the unflavored. To say that either of those flavor descriptions are accurate is grossly overreaching. They both have the most bitter taste profile I have ever had in my life. Absolutely disgusting. Nothing can hide it either. Now on to the more disastrous point of the interview is company rep. Yikes. I wish I would have known (read as I did NOT do my research so this is my fault and I will not be asking for a refund): In October 2025, Consumer Reports published an investigation into heavy metals in protein powders and shakes, with key findings for Naked Nutrition's Vegan Mass Gainer: The Vegan Mass Gainer had the highest lead levels of all products tested, with one serving containing 7.7 micrograms. This amount is roughly 1,570% of Consumer Reports' recommended daily level of concern (0.5 micrograms). The company responded that independent third-party testing confirmed their products did not exceed FDA reference intake levels for heavy metals. It also noted that the Vegan Mass Gainer has a larger serving size than many other plant-based powders. Broader context on heavy metals in supplements The issue of heavy metals like lead is widespread across the supplement industry, especially in plant-based products, due to how plants absorb metals from the soil. Contamination source: Lead can enter the supply chain through contaminated soil, groundwater, and manufacturing processes. Higher risk for plant-based: On average, plant-based protein powders have been found to contain significantly more lead than dairy-based alternatives. Federal regulations: In the United States, dietary supplements are not reviewed or tested by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for safety before they are sold, and there are no federal limits for heavy metal content. Safety recommendations: Experts caution that while these levels may not cause immediate harm, lead can build up in the body over time. Long-term exposure is linked to health problems, and no level of lead is considered safe. What this means for Naked EAAs Although Naked EAAs were not specifically named in the October 2025 Consumer Reports study, the findings for a different Naked Nutrition product are still relevant. Naked EAAs are also a plant-based, vegan supplement, which places them in the category found to have higher contamination risk.

When I first tasted the unflavored product, I braced myself for a bad flavor based on the reviews here. But after trying it, I couldn’t help but laugh to myself - “these guys have clearly not had to prep yet for a colonoscopy” lol (aka under 45). The flavor is super easy to mask with juice and the benefits far outweigh the taste so this is a win for me. Love this product and happy to be getting clean ingredients. I’ll definitely keep buying it.

I’m no stranger to downing things with poor taste. Because it’s about the effect, not the taste. Let me tell you, the unflavored is SO BAD even smelling it makes me wretch! Don’t do it! Buy the flavored 😂 Other than that, quality is great. Good product.

Came on time just didn’t expect how nasty it tasted lol thought was no taste just plain but has a strong taste so watch out anyone who thinks there’s no taste cause it’s plain probably have to mix it with a juice or something I had mines with water and was bad

Eaas are building blocks of protein! I read that older folks need to be supporting those muscle and wee are in our fifties. Hopefully this clean brand can help us out. We also use Naked creatine too. My husband said my legs look more defined. Been using it for about 2 weeks

The best EAAs! Love that nothing is added to it, it mixes instantly, and no sickeningly sweet artificial sweeteners. Yes, it's bitter and doesn't taste good on it's own, but that's just the nature of EAAs. Add a splash of lemon juice, tart cherry juice, or pomegranate juice to a bottle of water mixed with the EAAs and just get it down. The added tartness/sourness offsets the bitterness of the EAAs and masks the flavour very effectively. I usually add my creatine and collagen too just to get those in at the same time. They all mix well together. Btw, unsweetened cranberry juice doesn't work...gross.

I love this! I mix it with 1/2c cranberry or tart cherry juice, add water and ice and I can't taste it at all and look forward to drinking it because I actually notice a difference in how I feel overall on the days I have it vs don't. I love that it's just EEAs and no artificial flavors or stevia (I hate stevia!) and can mix it with whatever I want. I'm so glad I found this and will be a customer for life

Goût absolument horrible, même mélangé avec un breuvage. Il gâche le goût du café. Pas agréable du tout.

Found my usual EAA way too sweet. Mixed this into a container with the EAA and it's a great way to get the same dose with far less overpowering sweetness. Not sure this would work on its own, given how sour the taste is, but adding a salty electrolyte would help.

I appreciate that this EAA powder has clean ingredients with no artificial sweeteners or additives. It mixes well and helps with muscle recovery after workouts. However, the unflavoured version has a pretty bitter taste that can be hard to get used to, requiring a strong mixer. It's a quality supplement, but the flavour profile could be better
